Exclusive | AOCs district saw a 70% crime surge more than double NYC average: She doesnt care

What these neighborhoods really need is a “Squad” car.Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows.The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period.

Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft.The 115th Precinct, which also serves part of Roosevelt Avenue in addition to Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, and north Corona, saw major offenses rise by 85%.The other four precincts in her Queens-Bronx congressional district similarly saw major-crime increases higher than the citywide average.Some residents blamed the increasingly lawlessness squarely on the no-show lawmaker.

“She’s not doing s–t.She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” vented Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, who has lived in the 110th Precinct her whole life and is one of several constituents who ripped the jet-setting absentee “Squad” member for letting the district turn to “trash” while she focuses on elevating herself on the national stage.Alvarez, 34, a former AOC supporter, has had to endure a brothel setting up across the street from her childhood home, and the drunken men she says constantly swarm in and out of the place.

She said she also regularly witnesses gang activity, car thefts and assaults, but nothing gets done.She used to dream of building a life in the neighborhood, but not anymore.“I can’t wait to get – pardon my language – the f–k out of here.It makes me so sad that they’ve done that to push me out of my neighborhood.

And I’m not the only one..
